J. Reynolds estate. The village, which covers around Template:Convert,[1] was planned as a working model farm, designed by Charles Barton Keen and Willard C. Northup in the early 20th century.[2] It is now part of Reynolda Historic District, with twenty-two of its buildings, and one other contributing structure, now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Each building is constructed of matte green Ludowici-Celadon tile, cedar shingles painted green or asbestos shingles. The white exterior walls are mostly stucco on metal lathe, with a few having horizontal clapboard siding. The more substantial structures were built from fieldstone collected from the estate. The cattle shed, corn crib and chicken house were reconstructed in 1978 and 1979.[1]

At present, the village is owned and operated by nearby Wake Forest University (to which it was deeded in 1965),[1] as is the adjacent Reynolda Gardens. Reynolda Church stands directly across Reynolda Road, on Brookfield Drive, from the village's main entrance. (The village can also be accessed, via a one-way road, from the entrance to Reynolda House, further south on Reynolda Road.)

Each cottage had its own laundry yard and garden, enclosed by latticework and gates. Four of the resident cottages were still used as such in the 1980 assessment of the village for its nomination to the National Register of Historic Places.[1]

The former farmhouse was used as a men's boarding house until the outbreak of World War II.[15]
